Still managed to leave the 5 i bought a few weeks back untouched. Truth be told had packed them away in.the attic store and forgot about them, had we left them in the kitchen cupboard like we normally would I suspect they'd require replenishing by now... now to try and forget about them again til December!

I honestly admire your will power guys! They wouldn't last in this house...once I know they're there they get eaten and my husband is the same. I honestly don't know how he's so skinny!

Hopefully until Xmas week! :pac: Packed away in the attic as soon as I got home.

I ordered a shed load of Cadbury's stuff thinking that due to covid it would take weeks to get here. It arrived at the weekend, selection boxes, santas, the build a sleigh and log cabin, 850gram bars, bournville....and it was all liquified as it was touching 40 degrees. Fine for the bars but the plan to make the sleigh and log cabin needs to be revisited.

While the other supermarkets have been getting better T their festive and 'luxury' ranges id expect them to step up more this year. For the **** year it has been and will people not being able to dine out etc, peolle I think will want to splash out on fancy home catering.

Dunnes, Aldi and Lidl will all have a fancy range out...

jellybear · 04-10-2020 5:01pm

I was very tempted to go all out and order stuff from M&S for Christmas this year but with just the two of us I can't really justify it. Everything is for 6/8 people plus the lack of delivery/having to collect it would put me off. That chocolate cake really is calling my name though!!:D

SarahLil · 04-10-2020 6:11pm

They didn’t have Chocolate stocking fillers in M&S today or Chocolate Santa’s

Looking forward to all the other shops upping their game at all the at home food considering the current climate

M&S seem to have a lot less Christmas food this year, if their online offering is anything to go by! Maybe supplier issues given everything that is happening atm.

There’s no supplier issues with food at all.

Clothes is an issue afaik.

I’d question would they be afraid with lots of stock if people pre ordered it and they put some strange restrictions in place which may make it awkward for people to collect it.

freshpopcorn · 04-10-2020 11:37pm

I looked at the M&S website there. I think the reason why there is a lot less stuff on it this year is because they've no real party food on it. I suppose in there eyes people won't be having parties this year.

Easiest way to describe them is like in Kinder chocolate. I love very sweet and milky chocolate. They are very hard to get in general. They can be in there Advent called and I got a box of them in the new version of Heatons last year.

I'll get my OH to keep an eye out for them when he's out and about.

DvB · 05-10-2020 2:53pm

Perfect timing on the lindor find, had an amazon order ready to go so just ordered 2 boxes of the extra dark & 2 of the coconut ones there (find them both hard to get and by far my two favourite flavours) herself likes the standard red ones so can pick up a large box or 2 of them in Dunnes handily enough. Are they that much cheaper here though?

I think the 200g box is usually in or around 6euro, and the bigger one is about 10euro? I'm on Tesco for my grocery shop and saw this

I found this, it's an assorted box but looks like it includes the milk and white

Ah crap. Just copped the 200g are the little ones, so ordering the cocunut ones for £5 werent really a saving at all. Still, they're hard to get so dont mind really.

They have the 200g of Lindor for €5.90 in Supervalu.

They definitely have the blue/white ones, because I seen them on the shelf and remembered FP had mentioned them here before!

Sheep Shagger · 05-10-2020 8:57pm

The 200g smaller boxes are about a fiver in Dunnes no?..£3.50 still cheaper than that....

Sheep Shagger · 06-10-2020 8:41pm

Went to Dunnes tonight, couldn't see the orange twirls anywhere....as I'm leaving the store empty handed see a separate stand at the till lol

Oh the small boxes of Lindt are €6.60 there at the moment so £3.85 on Amazon is a steal.

wes · 07-10-2020 1:31am

I tried the orange twirls today, and I liked them. Will have to get some more soon.

Lindt LINDOR Assorted Tin 400g £10.00 was £15.00

Reduced to 10 Pounds now...

Which means they would prob drop it to €15 over here. Still not worth it IMO. If it hits €10 I'll buy it, purely for the tin.
